Essential Question:
How would you determine
what kingdom an organism
belongs to?
Standard: compare the characteristics of
taxonomic groups including plantae and
animalia (B8C)
Pull out a sheet of paper,
number from 1-10, and title
it, “Six Kingdoms Quiz”.
In the near future, humans were able
to identify and travel to another planet
that contained life. Interestingly, the
organisms discovered on that planet
had characteristics similar to life found
on Earth. For that reason, scientists
decided to use the current
classification system to classify them.
Help scientists classify these organisms
into their correct kingdoms.
1.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This organism (although it has a mouth) was found to
digest its food outside of its body (by vomiting on it).
It would then absorb the digested food into its
gelatinous belly. When its cells were examined,
scientists found cell walls made of chitin.
2.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This little guy (about an inch tall) was discovered to have
cells that photosynthesize. (Scientists hypothesize that the
mouth is only used to deter predators in a form of mimicry.)
Interestingly, scientists noted that its cells do not have cell
walls.
3.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This little guy is a single-celled, microscopic organism
that has no nucleus. After performing a Gram stain,
scientists determined that it has cell walls made of
peptidoglycan.
4.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This multicellular monster is comprised of cells with
no cell walls, and it actually ate the scientist who
discovered that!
5.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This microscopic little bugger is unicellular with no cell
walls.
6.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
The cell walls of this lumbering beast were
determined to be composed of chitin.
7.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Scientists determined that these unicellular organisms
(pictured in green attached to the hair of a larger
organism) photosynthesize, have no nucleus, and have
cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan.
8.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Although menacing in appearance, this multicellular
monstrosity was found to be entirely autotrophic.
(The scientist stuck in its back happened purely by
accident!) Under closer examination, its cells
appeared to be surrounded by cell walls made of
cellulose.
9.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This prickly character was discovered to be composed
of a single spike-shaped, eukaryotic cell. Surprisingly,
its cell was surrounded by cell walls that were not
made of chitin. It was also seen ingesting (eating)
small bits of food from the surrounding environment.
10.
Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protista
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
This unicellular, photosynthetic organism contains no
nucleus and has cell walls containing peptidoglycan.
Turn in your papers to

Six Kingdom Sort
1st: Highlight/underline/circle the key words that help
you determine the kingdom.
2nd: Determine what Kingdom an organism belongs to.
3rd:Get a signature from ME…..your teacher. 
4th: Color-code each organism based on what kingdom
they belong to:
Eubacteria: Red
